Abstract

Selon la présente invention, un film optique comprend un premier matériau de base de film et une couche de diffusion optique formée sur le premier matériau de base de film. La couche de diffusion optique contient une résine liante et des particules de diffusion de lumière. Au moins dix pour cent (10 %) du nombre de particules de diffusion de lumière est telle qu'une partie de chacune de ces particules de diffusion de lumière fait saillie depuis ses zones périphériques où aucune des particules de diffusion de lumière ne sont présentes pour ainsi former une structure irrégulière sur la surface de la couche de diffusion optique. Quatre-vingt-dix pour cent % (90 %) ou plus du nombre de particules de diffusion de lumière ayant des parties de projection sont disposés avec les parties de projection recouvertes de la résine liante.
